Month: 2025-11 — Performance review summary: Key features delivered: - Frontend: Container security and performance optimization achieved by migrating to the Chainguard slim base image in navikt/meroppfolging-frontend (Dockerfile updated to Chainguard base; commit c627f3fae65f36bba19a15219c881cfd9f11ecc0). - Backend: Infrastructure and CI/CD stability enhancements in navikt/dinesykmeldte-backend, including PostgreSQL 17 version pinning in Docker Compose, upgrade of the testing framework, and removal of unused extensions (commits 5a638e1222302e24ddf07311e180edfa0aa2674d, a20b887adc812a4851abb5fe1952cfff1dd2960b, a7062ea6bcc86f831bdc2984f8f9622f6827e841). Major bugs fixed / stability improvements: - Achieved more reliable environments and safer deployments by pinning PostgreSQL 17, removing Digestabot workflow, and loosening base image pinning to enable timely updates; also cleaned up security-related extensions, reducing attack surface (same backend commits). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Business value: More reproducible development, test, and production environments; faster, safer deployment cycles; reduced risk from outdated dependencies and insecure configurations; improved governance over container images and CI/CD pipelines. - Team impact: Reduced maintenance burden and clearer ownership for infrastructure/CI components; improved confidence in releases. Technologies / skills demonstrated: - Chainguard base image adoption; Dockerfile security hardening; Docker Compose with PostgreSQL 17; test framework modernization (Kotest 6.0.5); CI/CD pipeline simplifications (Digestabot removal); security hygiene and environment consistency.
